Vtg 60s CHP Biker Jacket - 40ish - Cal Leathers

[Novos]

I have a 60s CHP biker jacket. Leather is super heavy, and all zips are original and work. There are some markings on one of the shoulders (pictured below). Otherwise leather is in great condition.

Price is $150 USD + shipping from Canada.

Sorry for the crap photos. If there is any interest I can do more photos and take measurements. I believe I have the original Sam Brown-style belt somewhere.

Holy crap, this is cool! Is it Cal? I'm interested in the measurements.

Actually I should correct myself, it was billed as "Cal" when I bought it - but I've not been able to find some tags that confirm it's true origins. But from the zips, the liners, it looks legit and it is really heavy. Vintage denim liners in the pockets and corduroy in the inner pocket. So I will say Cal-style.

Pit to Pit = 21.5"
Shoulder = 19"
Arm = 26.3"
Length from collar seam = 24.8"

To give you an idea on fit, I'm 6.1" / 190 lbs and it fits really well, so maybe closer to a 42. I don't think I'm super keen on the style (for myself) and the angled main zip - otherwise I'd keep it!

It could be a Cal. But all the Cal Leather jackets I've seen have stitching at the top of the hand warmer pockets. I don't see that detail in these pictures. Could be another maker's CHP jacket, there are numerous makers. Looks like a good jacket either way.

Haha, well, it is a pretty great price. I've been holding onto it for five years, always unsure whether I want to let it go. PM me if you want to discuss offers/shipping etc.

Bump! Now accepting offers. This may not be an Aero, but it's got a ridiculous amount of character and is built to last.

Not a cal leather guys for sure

One final bump before this hits ebay.
